I did not write this but I sure as hell am passing it on:

A perspective:
A couple of days ago a young man from Pittsburgh was being paid to entertain as a professional athlete. Sadly that young man was severely injured, he almost died but his life was saved. His contract is $4 million for 4 years. It was a scary incident that could have had a much sadder outcome and I am glad he will survive. Since he is an athletic entertainer his name is all over the media and almost everyone is talking about him, about how lucky he is. He went to work and carried the weight of football pads and the pressure of putting on a good performance for the fans and his team. The media is making this the top-of-the-hour story. The young brave entertainer survived a brush with death in a freak accident while he was making millions performing. Social media and news media is bragging about how a Go Fund Me for the entertainer's charity has raised more than $4.7 million (much more than this by now I would suspect) in his name by people donating.
Two other men went to work yesterday also from Pittsburgh just like the entertainer. These two men made a lot less money, had a lot more pressure, and carried the weight of promises to their families and an oath to their community. Instead of pads and a helmet, they wore a badge and a vest. The badge they wear reads POLICE OFFICER and it may be small but it carries the weight of knowing they promised their families they will return home, the weight of an oath to serve and protect a community by being the only thing that stood between the innocent and evil. On a scale, the football pads weigh more than a badge of a few ounces. But in the heart, that badge weighs a thousand times more than those pads. One of those men lies in a hospital recovering from a gunshot wound. His family, friends, community, and the Blue Line are by his side. The other man paid the supreme sacrifice, No Greater Love One Has Than This, To Lay Down One’s Life for One’s Friends. Today the officer's family, friends, community, and Blue Line prepare to say goodbye. These two men, Brackenridge Police Chief Justin McIntire and Tarentum Officer Jordan Schrecengost are the second story in the news and are talked about less on social media.
While the entertainers Go Fund Me charity is now at $4.7 million and dozens of sports and screen entertainers reach out to support the entertainer and his charity. The family of murdered Brackenridge Police Chief Justin McIntire will say their goodbyes and have to face a future without him. Tarentum Officer Jordan Schrecengost will face a long road to recovery and a lifetime of physical and mental scars. I am sure there will be community support for both of these brave men but do you think it will amount to the tune of $4.7 million? Neither do I. It saddens me these men are second to an athlete. The media needs to get right who the true heroes are.
Again I am glad the entertainer will be ok, but I stand with the Blue Line. My heart and prayers go to the families and LEO family of Brackenridge Police Chief Justin McIntire and Tarentum Officer Jordan Schrecengost, the true heroes.

I'm hoping someone out there can answer my question. I have two images that are practically identical, but have vastly different file sizes. Attached is the first image. (I tried attaching the second image, but the file size was too large.) The first image has a file size of 3.27 MB, and the second image has a file size of 27.5 MB. In editing this image I was going back and forth between Luminar NEO and Luminar AI. At times Luminar NEO is slow on my laptop and I run out of patience and go over to Luminar AI. The images are "slightly" different from one another but I can't imagine that that would account for the file size difference.
I've looked at the exif data on each image, and they're basically the same, except for one thing. On the exif data for the second image which is 27.5 MB (which I couldn't attach - Luminar NEO) it says "Photometric interpretation: RGB." On the exif data for the first image which is 3.27 MB (Luminar AI) it says "Photometric interpretation: ." So, it has something obviously to do with that? I've done Google searches on Photometric interpretation but can't figure out what that really means and why it's different in both images.
Color Representation in both exif files says sRGB. Any help on figuring out what's going on would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

When you find a good subject - work the scene.

I'll make no apologies for posting another photo of this spot. I put a lot of time and effort into working this scene and getting various shots from various angles and elevations. And I've still not exhausted the possibilities...

This I like, once again great shot. REJ.

After a lot of fence sitting...took the plunge and ordered the Nikon D850. At 72 this will probably be my last camera purchase. My D810 is very loved so hoping the D850 will be also. If anyone has tips to share, that would be appreciated. Thanks!


I too was excited when I got my D850, after a year has gone by I found that I am using my trusted D810 more and more. There is something about the D850 that I don't like. ????????? REJ.
